Just got back from Grand Cayman and Cozumel...great trip

My wife and I did a 5 day cruise, and had a great time. We got to swim with the stingrays in Stingray City in Grand Cayman (small island below Cuba)
and tour the Mayan ruins in Cozumel (Mexico). It's actually the first week-long vacation we've had since our Honeymoon (7 years ago)....and it was
much needed.

Also came back with little medals, trophies, and champagne bottles for winning so much stuff in ship contests (though no monetary prizes...oh well,
had fun participating though, and even more fun to win).

Highly recommended destinations if you're planning such a trip. The water was amazing in both locales (especially Cozumel by the ruins), and lots of
things to do and see.

The only downside with Carnival, was that the shows on the ship aren't as good as Royal Caribbean or Disney, and there isn't a way to buy photo
packages (you have to buy each one separately, which really gets expensive).

In the future, we'll likely stick with one or the other, depending on destinations. I'm a big fan of going new places...vs. the same cruises. We may
do an Alaskan one next year maybe...depending on finances, time required, etc.
